Community Emergency Response Team

Renton Emergency Communication Service

Ready in Renton

Renton is at risk of a wide variety of hazards that pose threats to the life safety of residents, local economy, and the environment. The City is working to get ready for emergencies, but we can't do it alone.

It is important that residents do what they can to get prepared for emergencies. In the event of a major disaster, first responders and normal City services might not be able to reach everyone who needs help for up to two weeks. Are you ready to take care of yourself and the people around you?

What Is Emergency Management?

Emergency situations are regularly handled by response agencies like Police, Fire, or Public Works, but sometimes a disaster happens that is beyond the City’s normal capability to respond. That’s where we come in.
